Aerospace Engineering with a Foundation Year Meng (Hon)

Study the research, design, development, construction and flight of aircraft. There are a range of courses available after the Foundation Year, including Aerospace Engineering with a Year in Industry and Aerospace Engineering with Private Pilot Instruction.<br/><br/>**Launch your career with this exploration of aerospace engineering theory, and hands-on practice of building and flying aircraft.**<br/><br/>If you dont have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you. After successfully completing the foundation year, you can start a BEng or MEng degree.<br/><br/>From a solid base of essential theories, you’ll explore propulsion, instrumentation, the computation and design of aerodynamics and aircraft control.<br/><br/>As you progress, you’ll tailor the degree to match your career path – choosing to focus on either avionic systems or aeromechanics, and completing an investigative project of your choice.<br/><br/>We’ll teach you how to manage a project from start to finish, and how to communicate with people from a wide range of engineering disciplines. In your final year, youll work on a research project led by one of our world leading academics.<br/><br/>Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to fly and build aircraft, take part in national and international competitions, and ultimately graduate with the hands-on experience you need to progress in the aerospace industry.<br/><br/>**Why study this course?**<br/>- **Top 5 for aeronautical and manufacturing engineering** - as rated by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024. Were also the top Russell Group university in the National Student Survey (NSS) 2023.<br/><br/><br/>- **Learn to fly** - gain flying experience either through our private pilot instruction courses, or through our links with the Yorkshire Universities Air Squadron.<br/><br/><br/>- **State-of-the-art facility** - access a high quality laboratory education in a unique and state-of-the-art facility, including the opportunity to operate and examine jet engine technologies.<br/><br/><br/>- **Real industry experience** - we’ll help you find opportunities to study abroad, get industry experience and take part in a full portfolio of activities in air and space systems. Extracurricular activities also include entering national and international competitions.<br/><br/><br/>- **Global Engineering Challenge** - join teams of students to solve engineering problems in developing countries – pushing you to develop you as a professional engineer and enhancing your career prospects.<br/>
